Well, this thread certainly turned into a rollercoaster ride.
Like I said, I never meant to insinuate that things were run poorly here, I just thought I was noticing a trend that was erring on the side of overly-cautious and felt like airing my concern.
You people completely hijacked this thread. That deserves immediate bannings.

Well, I wasn't sure if I wanted to make this thread, but I'm glad I did. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Basically I feel the same way as Mike. Without conflict, there cannot be progress. If people don't argue, they are not given the opportunity to see the other side, which is one of the things that bothers me the most about this world.
I just thought I was starting to see a trend where these discussions were being cut off before they even turned ugly. If that's not actually the case, than that's cool.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">HC, you and I have generally got along but I'm having a little trouble with your philosophy. You say you're critical and you speak your mind. I can appreciate that...but...do you offer anything to resolve a situation? Do you try to give advice on something that should be done or made? I haven't seen it. I'm sensing the world will never please you. That's a hard personality for a lot of people to accept.Quote:

Even the mods admit it. You can't satisfy everyone. So why try?
I still consider all of you my friends. I have no interest in holding grudges. But I am critical, and I do say what's on my mind.

Being honest is an admirable trait...not a principle. I find it hard to believe you've never told a "white lie". I'm curious to know what your actual principles are. We know you're mad at the world...so what are you going to do about it? Other than to spout your "honesty"?
